I stand corrected :) However, I think it's a tangent:
dontdiff is a file that's useful precisely because of the form its in. So, as something that's proven itself useful to a bunch of people, I definitely think it has a home somewhere in Documentation/* It need not be referenced in any way by kbuild; that's not a big deal. The two really serve different purposes.
